What should Tool become — open source or with community Edition?

Hey everyone,

I've been building a labelling tool, a desktop app (PyQt6) for capturing and annotating gesture datasets think of it as a companion tool for gesture recognition pipelines like Gesto, making it easier to collect, label, and export hand landmark data for training models.

I'm at a fork in the road on direction, and I'd love your input:

1. Open source it release it freely (currently GPL-3.0), let the community use it, contribute, and shape where it goes.

What's next after signspell: open-sourcing a gesture recognition framework

Thanks so much for all the support on signspell!

One thing building this taught me: almost every gesture/action recognition project ends up rebuilding the same infra from scratch capturing frames, labelling landmarks, exporting clean datasets for training.

AI & Computer Vision Engineer | Top-Rated on Upwork

Hey everyone ,

I'm Sundar , an AI & Computer Vision engineer from India.

Over the years I've worked across a wide range of CV domains OCR, human pose estimation, object detection, and plenty more building production systems in Python. I'm top-ranked on Upwork, and my client portfolio has ranged from early-stage startups to companies valued at over $100M (with projects spanning $50k to seven-figure scale).

I've built a community of 19k+ on LinkedIn sharing what I learn, and I want to bring that same energy here: building in public, helping other makers, and shipping consistently. Looking forward to it!
